[@lorcanwallace3627]

Mate this is spot on, exactly the guidance I needed. Thank you

[@johnwilson1935]

Learning and hanging onto every word,thankyou.

[@tim6151]

Thank you, Sean. I appreciate you showing us some opportunities where ornaments could be used.

[@colinm366]

My prayers have been answered! Thank you so much for this! :)

[@whistletutor]

Cheers Colin, hope it helps!

[@Bodrhan1]

Thanks you have helped me in my whistle playing..

If I heard this without video, I'd think it was Obama If I watched this without audio, I'd think it was a guy talking about sports

[@Thatguywhocomments123]

This is accurate.

[@riderfirstplace2779]

Those techniques are way beyond my ability it is a big challenge undoing the knots in my hands and I really actually thought that no one can play so well. I am overwhelmed at what I can do. I will practice right now and spill my black two tunes on the street serve it with my hickups.

[@polyglotta1]

Wow...keep thinking you've sped up the film but there's no munchkin voice so you really are that fast - respect!

[@whistletutor]

Hahaha - cheers! Just lots of practice and time spent in pubs. :)

[@pinkthatsall3]

Does this apply to the flute aswell? Thanks!

[@lisaflute]

Thank you ! 😊soooooo helpful

[@graced2941]

So helpful!

[@saoirsegirvan5096]

I am a cellist and aspiring Irish Trad musician who is currently learning to play Irish flute and bodhran, and I'm planning to learn Irish whistle too. Which whistle would you recommend I buy for my first beginner whistle?

[@whistletutor]

I like the Sweetone as a starter, but if you think you'll be remotely serious about it it's really worth it to dive in with something a bit more reliable. You can get a professional instrument for between $75-$150 and that's all you need to spend for it. That way you know that when something goes wrong it's your fault and not the whistle's which is a good problem to have, because you can fix that!

[@soslothful]

Would you spell out the notes in the triplets? Thanks.

[@ph-kdx8474]

Could you do a tutorial of Mouse in the Kitchen on the tin whistle in D? It's a traditional tune, and a nice catchy one.

[@whistletutor]

That is a lovely tune though it's not traditional, it was written by Colin Farrell who's currently with Lunasa. I don't play it well enough to teach it though I'll put it on my list and see if I can get to playing it properly!

[@ph-kdx8474]

Thanks!

[@ciaranmahon9359]

great video! Would love to see a tutorial on down the broom.

[@whistletutor]

Thanks a bunch - that's a great tune, I'll get it on my list!

[@pietercuijpers7188]

A better word for rule might be guidelines 😉

[@williamswhistlepipes]

Good strong advice. Do you play the pinch of snuff

[@whistletutor]

I don't think so - don't know it by name, anyway but I'll look it up!

[@williamswhistlepipes]

Thanks a tutorial would be very helpful . I’m playing in a session at the end of the month with some musicians I’ve only met a couple of times and they play the tune. I’ve had a good look about for it on YT but no luck.

[@simongaudry1951]

Reelys cool

[@jan861]

What whistle are you playing?

[@whistletutor]

I play whistles made by a fellow named Gary Humphrey.

[@jan861]

@@whistletutor Cool, good price and I like the sound (although I try not to be influenced too much by your great playing skills :D ) ! I am thinking about buying a (high D) Burke. By the way: What is the (red or white) tape on whistles thought for? (I saw you put it on the whistle in your review of the Humphrey whistle.)

[@thegeartracker]

I'm hearing things I could practice, but I'd need to go somewhere else to actually learn it. The video seems to only show us all the cool stuff he knows; he's certainly not trying to teach at this speed.

[@thegeartracker]

Why can't you slow down!!!!!

[@whistletutor]

Hahah - yeah, some of these older ones I tend to blitz through. Hopefully they've been better lately!

[@joeybegoode9067]

Adjust playback speed to 0.25x

[@annewright5096]

It's a pity you don't take things a bit more slowly.. you are going too fast and too much talking.

[@whistletutor]

Agreed! Trying to do better at that in newer videos :)

[@annewright5096]

Sorry to be critical... maybe splitting the info into 2 videos rather than trying to do it all in one hit?
